McCain: Bush broke the law by spying on Americans without a warrant

Think Progress has the transcript from Fox News:

WALLACE: But you do not believe that currently he has the legal authority to engage in these warrant-less wiretaps.

MCCAIN: You know, I don’t think so, but why not come to Congress? We can sort this all out. I don’t think — I know of no member of Congress, frankly, who, if the administration came and said here’s why we need this capability, that they wouldn’t get it. And so let’s have the hearings.
If Bush didn't have the legal authority, it means he committed a crime. The consensus is -- even from Bush himself -- that they didn't have the legal authority to conduct the domestic spying operation. So, let's just call that what it is: a crime. That's what McCain said today.
